Thibaut Courtois’ Chelsea dig

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has taken aim at former club Chelsea.

Courtois made his debut in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Leganes having arrived from Chelsea for £35million in August.

But having spent four successful seasons at Stamford Bridge, Courtois says that his new club are operating at a much higher level.

“In training, you see that the level at Real Madrid is high," the Metro quote Courtois as saying. “I am now experiencing on a daily basis that Ramos is the best centre-back in the world. The level at Real Madrid is higher than at Chelsea.”
